How to stop Puppy aggression - Before it starts.
If you have recently bought a new puppy and want to get off to the best possible start try these top puppy tips...
Prevention is better than cure.
* Ask the breeder who you have recently bought your puppy off for a piece of blanket or something that smells of his old environment. This is great little trick and will start your relationship on the right footing.
* If you are bringing your puppy home from the breeder or are taking your puppy in the car at any time - try some D.A.P spray...
D.A.P Spray
* D.A.P. stands for Dog Appeasing Pheromone spray - Spray this fantastic little wonder around your car about five to ten mins before you take your puppy in it.
* You can also spray some (or better still- get a D.A.P diffuser) and install it near to where your puppy sleeps.
* The reason why D.A.P spray works so well to calm your puppy and to help prevent any aggression is because it simulates the pheromone that the bitch secretes to help her calm and relax her newborn puppies.
Violence breeds Aggression.
* It is now an acknowledged fact that aggressive behavior towards your puppy will turn you puppy into an aggressive adult.
* It's very true - if you show any aggressive behavior towards your puppy like shouting it will unnerve and scare your puppy.
* Puppies and dogs use any form of aggression as a very last resort.
* Nervous puppies/dogs are far more likely to be aggressive.
A puppy and dog for that matter needs to feel safe and secure in their environment. If a puppy/dog feels that they cannot predict or control their environment to some extent then this will breed frustration, anxiety and finally aggression - remember this in your training program.
